Without knowing which pixels are burned out, and which are live, that first digit could be a 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, or 0. (I suspected it was a 1 because it only takes three hours total, it had been going for a while by this point, and the bread was still unbaked.) The second digit could be anything besides a two, and the last digit could be a 6, 8, or 0.
I figured that if I recorded a few times, I could figure out which pixels were live, which were burned out, and thus have a better idea of what time was left.
A while later:
Hmmm... that could be 0:40... I'll know for sure if I wait until it changes. After another minute:
Yep, the previous one was 0:40, and this is now 0:39. This next one also looks like 0:38:
Checking back a bit later, I found another live pixel around 0:20 (or 0:26 or 0:28):
Mapping this out, I get:
where red are dead pixels, green are live ones, and black are unknown.
Wasn't that fun?

You are too funny, and such a comp sci person.
that WAS fun indeed...sounds like the kind of thing I would have done, too, if I had a partly broken display like that :-)
